Hercule Poirot Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Hercule Poirot — The entry incorrectly states that Poirot arranged for Norton to be killed by someone else; in Curtain, Poirot himself kills Norton by shooting him, then dies of a heart attack.

Colonel Race — Colonel Race appears in three Poirot stories, not two: 'Cards on the Table', 'Death on the Nile', and the short story 'The Mystery of the Baghdad Chest'.

Colonel Race — Colonel Race's first appearance is in 'The Man in the Brown Suit' (1924), not 'Cards on the Table' (1936).

Lord Edgware Dies — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section says 'Poirot helps a suspect construct an alibi before realizing they are guilty, though the suspect is not the murderer.' This is inaccurate because Poirot helps Carlotta Adams, who is not guilty, so the phrase 'before realizing the

Peril at End House — The victim is listed as 'Maggie Buckley (the real Nicky Guest)', but in the novel, the real Nicky Guest is Magdala 'Nick' Buckley, and the woman posing as Nicky Guest is Maggie Buckley, her cousin. The victim is Maggie Buckley, who is killed, while the real Ni

Peril at End House — The culprit is listed as 'Maggie Buckley (posing as Nicky Guest)', but the actual culprit is the real Nicky Guest (Magdala Buckley), who poses as her cousin Maggie to commit the murders and frame others.

The A.B.C. Murders — The claim that Poirot is directly framed for murder is inaccurate; the killer frames Alexander Bonaparte Cust, not Poirot.

The Seven Dials Mystery — The missing heiress is named Loraine Wade, but the correct name is Lorraine Wade (spelled with an 'r' after the 'o').

Whitehaven Mansions — Whitehaven Mansions does not appear in 'The Hollow' (1946); that novel is set at 'The Hollow' country estate, and the Angkatell family lives there, not in a London apartment block.

Whitehaven Mansions — The claim that 'The Hollow' is set in the countryside is correct, but the entry incorrectly states that Whitehaven Mansions is the home of the Angkatell family in that novel; it is not mentioned in 'The Hollow' at all.

London — Poirot's London residence is in Mayfair, not Chelsea
